Denying National Roots – Early Communism and India
Denying National Roots – Early Communism and India
This study examines the early evolution of the attitude of Communism towards nationalism in general and towards Indian nationalism in particular. It also looks at how the ideas of communism were received early but were refracted through the typical Indian genius, into the overarching compass of spirituality.
It then moves on to examine the confrontation of world communism with Indian nationalism, the attempts of Comintern to yoke Indian nationalists to their war chariot, and how Indian nationalism escaped its bear-hug.

RSS 360
This book is an attempt to open up the supposedly secret world of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by someone with an insider’s knowledge of the philosophy, organisational structure and working
of this huge cadre-based organisation. As a senior member who has managed various responsibilities in the RSS over the years, Ratan Sharda has achieved his intent ably in this book.
It has long been acknowledged that the best way to know the RSS (or the National Volunteer Organisation) is to join it. Perhaps this is why there is very little literature on how the RSS functions. This vacuum has been skilfully filled by the author through his book, RSS 360º – Demystifying Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
There is generally a set format for writing about organisations, especially national level ones such as the RSS. Ratan Sharda has not, however, followed the beaten path. The intent behind his book is to lift the alleged
veil of secrecy from the organisation. He presents a comprehensive view of the Sangh’s philosophy, its workings and its humungous reach through various affiliate organisations across India, in a simple and easy flowing manner.
